You may remember last year's throwdown from my blog and I wish I could say a year has improved my construction prowess, but sadly, this is not the case. We had all the necessary components: gum drops, skittles, M&Ms, sprinkles, pretzels, marshmallows, lifesavers, gum balls, smarties, licorice and several different icing options.
Unfortunately, despite having a wealth of options, I was seriously lacking focus and vision. I just wanted to mill around the food, take copious amounts of photos (shocker) and observe everyone else's handiwork.
When I finally buckled down and got busy, I ended up creating this 3-story green and pink "masterpiece." I know it wasn't my best effort, but it was all I could come up with at the time. I think I was lacking the proper soundtrack (Harry Connick Jr.) to inspire me.
After surveying the finished products, I would have to say the girls definitely won...but I reckon I'm a wee bit biased.
Win or lose, it was great fun making gingerbread houses with such a fun group!
